Born in Wells, Minnesota, Finney received his early training at Carleton College and the University of Minnesota... -- Wikipedia
Though Ross Lee Finney, Minnesotan,
May not be a man of note in
His native town of Wells,
Perhaps the folks at Carleton College
Are more likely to acknowledge
His time within its cells,
Or maybe at the U of M
They think of him as one of them -
If so, then no one tells.
And that, Dear Reader, is the skinny
On Minnesota’s Ross Lee Finney.
